Did everyone who applied to blackrock get the automated OA after applying? I didn't
go to your application portal it's there
How this mfer getting "tons of interviews" with no degree and no exp
🧢
he's just cracked
Where in the portal?
I didn't even get an email what
Yes yes logged in
scroll to the bottom
Dmed you.
if you can't beat em join em
Apple is still hiring for FY-23
a recruiter confirmed that with me. I think reaching out to managers might work
If a job is posted on workday for like 2 days and then disappears what does that mean
the removed the opening ?
meant for some sort of internal applicant?
maybe they got many applications ?
hmmm maybe
Got a dm today from an external Apple recruiter. I think they’re hiring? Unless this guy thinks I got 2 yoe or something.
yup they are hiring
do you recommending cold emailing recruiters
I’ve applied to so many positions on their website and haven’t heard back
eningeering managers
are a way to go
ya you can probably land interviews more with engineering managers
but getting the attention of an engineering manager is hard af lol
especially in this climate
yeah but some em's reply
yo
yo
I got like 1 reply lol out of 30+emails
yahkuna shoo
shoo doggy

Anyone have experience with spaceX new grad process?
Can you send the link pls for this? Also did you apply with a referral?
It was the job posted in the 2023 new grad posting channel. No referral but interned with amazons spaceX competitor last summer so that’s why I think I got the recruiter call.
Yea
Not for security eng
But for general SWE it’s recruiter call -> take home assessment -> online interview -> in person on-site
thanks
are you all web devs or trying to be web devs?
Does anyone think things will open up in the coming 2 months?
I heard it will after June, but have no hope
When you see someone from your program on LinkedIn whose resume is nasa->raytheon->raytheon->disney->Google->Reddit

No
I know ur mom will 😉
This months been awful for job openings. Seems like after april all new grad stuff dried up. Hopefully they start opening in July
oh wow it is kuro
as a 2023 grad I’d just like to announce that the sausage egg n cheese burrito meal from mcdonalds with hot picante sauce is S-Tier
does he have jobe now tho?
april to june is typically dead so i wouldn’t worry too much
it will heat up in august no doubt
Yeah intern at Reddit
So? Don't need to feel bad about yourself, even just one internship at a no name is enough
I think so
no
software engineering is over
Today's FOMC meeting might be crucial for the upcoming hiring season
Or adopt a Michael Jordan grindset and assume they are talking shit behind your back to motivate yourself. Whatever you do is your choice...
anyone else get emails from a Scale AI partner for some coding side gig thing
Yes...you're absolutely right
The FEDs decision is going to determine the scope of hiring for the next coming months
when do we find that out?
idk why scale is hiring contractors to work on this
but $25 an hour on your own schedule sounds so nice
so im not gonna complain
btw if anyone is applying to this dm me and i can refer u
nah im just interviewing w this thing
my actual job doesn't start for another month
sounds like a steal in this economy 
they gave me 3 LC hards
fck that company
😭
it was 2 hours long
lmao really
yeah and they demanded 100% test cases or you don’t move on
what a joke lol
1-2 of them might’ve been higher end mediums
and i’m not the smartest person xD BUT STILL
shit was whack
lowest new grad hiring bar atm
yeah for a contractor role that’s not actual dev i was like gtfo
2 hour assessment with that kinda difficulty for what 💀
yoo i remember u
where u goin again
im going to atlassian lol
i remember
i start nyc apartment hunt in person next week
gl
Refer me to atlassian I'll help you search apartments 
I would but i don't see any new grad openings for them atm
I'm 3yoe 
oh yeah if you're looking now i would just ask on blind then because i won't be able to refer u till mid july

Oh cool, If I'm jobless then I'll hit you up lol
Btw how to join blind without company email
idk how that works tbh there are ways but i've only ever signed up with work emails
Woah, great idea
Any F-1 student filled I-9 for job, do we put expiry date for "Alien authorized to work"?
Do we put the expiry date on EAD?
yeah
im dyin rn
checking email constantly
and linkedin
should have asked guy last night how long it would take for technical in-person to be decided
also cold-messaged recruiter i met with last year abt a position that hasn’t changed status since I applied in May, hoping he can get me an in
How are may 2023 intl grads who have no job doing
If I had like 1 yoe, Do I apply for new grad positions for FANNG?
Or should I apply for intern? (already graduated)
I can tell them I'll come back for MS later right and would that work?
ty btw
hanging on by a thread
December 2022 grad 🫡
What r ppl thoughts on IBM?
they exist yeah
Wish IBM made computers for regular people lol
We need more competition
Give us IBM CPUs and GPUs
Intel is already joining the GPU market, which is pretty cool
guys when recruiter says that they would have final decision tomorrow and look out for email means is it gonna be a reject?
No
This a scam?
so I can be hopeful right
I filled out a word document with questions and there wasn’t an interview
Yes time to pray 
EOD today I believe
So is this good or bad?
I'm confused
Bad
So that means hiring is still going to be on freeze???
Well it’s steady for now
And most of the layoffs said it was because they overhired in Clovis
Covid**
So the rate is going to remain as is...what are the next steps for the tech companies then?
That means the coming months nothing is going to improve? Or will hiring pick back up?
Did u ask or did they just email you first
I wld be surprised if they emailed u first to tell you about results tomorrow just to reject. But who knows
Companies be weird sometimes
Right. I think it'll pick up within the next 2 months but companies will be more vigilant with who they hire and hc
Did the Fed say they plan on increasing rates later this year??? That's what I've read
Yikes
50/50
Same bro... Wtf is wrong with recruiters
Like your company is barely hiring so you can't be THAT busy
Depends, was there any emoji in the email or any exclamation mark?
I had exclamation mark then reject the next day 
I don't get it bro
They have more people contacting them than you think
If you think about it.... Their job is 1) send OA 2) interview highest score
Before this recruiting season it was easier to get responses from cold emailing
your msg is probably lost in hundreds of others

That's trivializing it
where do I find some rope
They accepted my connection request that has my message attached
A connection request being accepted doesn't really mean anything tbh
Doesn't really seem like much tbh
recruit 
how bad is it if you show up to an interview 1 minute late
stupid fucking teams wasn't working
very
there’s ur answer
apologies for the delay teams was acting up

Sorry it's over
bro chill they have a hard time as it is having to read through resumes
call/ email the recruiter about the link.
If anyone is interviewing at Payscale then please dm
I emailed them, it's been 2 months from my interview, their kept me on hold for sponsorship ( they sent me a background check before)
Nope there are no emoji or exclamation mark
They didn't used any punctuations
And I'll pray to Thor for you! Sincerely.
Hope 
I’ll pray anubis
Thor better than anubis
wotan
what a nerd.
Ive contacted my local parish to pray for you in tonight's service 
I'll pray to Lord Thor
Thank you
tesla didn't contacted me and their sent a rejection email like this: While we enjoyed speaking with you and learning more about your skills and experience, we decided to move forward with another candidate whose experience more closely matches the position requirements.
Got messaged by someone on indeed....for a recruiting position...
bruh what part of "LOOKING FOR SWE WORK" do you not understand smh
roping
make sense
emailed my startup owner that i interned with in 2020 asking if he can give me ajob
Well I hope you get what you want

Is it possible to decline an offer after signing it and if background check and stuff is done
lol
no one is forcing you to show up
just send the recruiter an email saying "i have found a different opportunity etc"
But isnt there some law ?
no lmao
Get ur revenge on the world
every day I wake up and hope I get emails telling me I’m hired
and every day I go to sleep disappointed
but today is a new day


Tbh I wake up and am disappointed I have to go to work again 
bruh I'm back at work today after a month of a paternity leave
yeah I got to wait another 9 months for that
Get some baby mamas
1 each month for next nine months, boom take nine months off
man i be checking r/csmajors all day and of course when i sleep it explodes in drama smh
Wut happened
Woman made post on how she gets creepy messages in her dms from r/csmajors people. Chaos ensues as guys try to justify the messages for some reason. Post deleted. Incels gonna incel i guess
Oh damm
Ok
I hate the csmajors sub. Half the posts are humblebragging, and the rest are doom posts
Tbh the reddit is useless
“guys which laptop should i buy??”
"I have a choice between a 300k TC internship and a 301 TC internship. Which should i pick?"
more like between 300 and 50 lol
i swear if they added a downvote function on blind it would fix so much
u forgot the constant complaints about being unable to get a green card
and how being on an H1B making 500k is equal to slavery
It's all troll
Nah my complaints are legit lol
I just come here to vent so i feel better
Lmao
I only have one more week at the buffet. After that, I start my new IT job
$36k tc 😭
Nope, it's on site. And I have to be on call late at night on certain days lol
wow that is garbo
what is it, support?
Maybe the $36k tc is a lowball estimate. I'm supposed to get paid $18/hr, and I estimated 40 hours of work per week, 50 weeks a year. Might be working more than that lol. I need more money, so that's fine with me!
Yeah, IT support lol
jesus
well ig I started at 45k a year
but that was like 5 years ago
ask for raise in 6 months

I make 64k now
They did tell me that they want me to use my programming knowledge to help with things and that they also plan to hire more IT support people. Maybe I can convince them to make a SWE role for me after I get more experience? It's a tiny company with under 20 employees, so I bet there's a lot of room for growth if I work hard
what does the company do?
do they make software they can sell?
They make security cameras for law enforcement, but they're trying to expand their services to home defense as well
I could help with the camers software maybe
because it programming is mostly just making automation scripts and shit like that on powershell
perhaps, but unlikely
😂 😂
yeah need a ft role or another internship for spring 2023
if I can give you any advice, be ambitious, if your bosses don't make an effort to try to upskill you to take on more responsibility, you should leave and find a company that will pay you more
Guys, I have a doubt. Since the market is bad now, Can I opt for a company which doesn't sponsor H1b (in the application, say I dont want future sponsor) and work there for a year and switch to another company which sponsors a h1b?
Yeah, they even told me that they wish they could pay me more but it's not in their budget. But they did say that they can offer me experience and hopefully pay me more as their company grows. If I can help them automate the more tedious things that take up their time, they can work on more productive things thatvwill bring their company money
I mean is that allowed ?
sure im doing that rn
not swe but it
hopefully i'll get picked in the h1b lottery, if not, masters in canada i guess 
just marry an american while on opt easy
maybe easier than getting an h1b sponsored job at this point
Will that be lying? Because for the first year I don't want a H1b sponsorship
Or for 3 years too
Just want to work for 3 years no h1b
Ohhhh like that
Got it now
Hmm now I don't know how a guy got an intern at NBA when they clearly don't sponsor
i guess canada after 3 years on stem opt 
Not safe
Variable
Has anyone interviewed with Glassdoor for Application Security position? Please DM
Check Glassdoor
snap vs applied intuition NG?
Can I safely assume you’re all competition for jobs?
No I don't see you as competition
Snap imo
- Public company (no paper stocks)
- Good eng talent
- Pays very well
- Recognizable name
Also Applied has really bad wlb (from what I've heard)
y’all can save the roasts but
what’s an example of a case study for swe role
interviewer said it’s non technical plus case study
Is snap hiring rn?
Idk 🤷♂️
I'm replying to som1 else
U shoud ask them
Ah I see, thanks friend
for those still looking: https://www.schwabjobs.com/job/-/-/33727/50254764576?utm_source=linkedin.com&utm_medium=job_posting&utm_campaign=Annual_Media&utm_content=social_media&utm_term=358106005&ss=paid&dclid=CKet4Z7yxf8CFUxQ1QodbvEG8g
they don't sponsor fyi
Also Applied has really bad wlb from
You could always try asking what to expect
But a 30min interview could be some trivia, just asking what exp you have, and/or just getting an idea of the candidate
Alr best of luck 🙏
Could be going over your resume and background if it's only 30 mins
Prep some STAR stories
still waiting for the decision email
I got a take home assessment, why do I feel its becoming more common?
me in 5 years
dude wtf is Patterned Learning AI
they keep spamming LinkedIn job posts
feels like a scam
wtf is meta doing, first 4 pages of LinkedIn is their 1 job in 50 states
and then the timeline is people laid off from meta
startup i guess
seems like spam their website is so sketchy lol
wdym timeline is people laid off from meta
I need a job my ruprep
do u want referral
sure why not lol
uh wait
patternAI or patterned learning ai
they are 2 different companies lol
Developer of an AI-based technology based in San Francisco. The company is currently operating in stealth mode.
patternAI is legit, the other is sketchy
generally if its a startup, u can look it up on crunchbase
that would help, can I dm?
yeah sure
yea any 2023 grads that need referral to tiktok lmk
just dm
is it limited to 2023 grads or would 2022 be okay too?
it's all leetcode for new grad loop
no ssytem desing
You might need to apply for the experienced role
I can still refer you for that
i graduate in december, but mainly prepping now
just curious but do u know how they give coding assessments for DS roles @night maple
like is it same lvl as SWE
it'll be stats based
not leetcode
also sql questions
I heard of sys design
oh
i already learned most of that, mainly doing leetcode cause
coding sucks

u cant intern if ur not a student
dont do a masters unless ur actually gunna use it
ur literally better off spamming job apps
source: im a grad student

my masters is paid for
ohhhh i see

thats so unfort
yeah dont do a masters lmao
theres literally
no point to do a masters if u already have internship experience
unless ur trying to move to the US
or something
o i see
ur interning now?
and u graduated last fall right
wut
did u tell them that lmao
before u accepted offer

master start in august?
idk i'd have mixed feeling about paying for masters
if u can get GTA or GRA
then sure
wut
its the same thing
wat u mean push
u can't start in spring
only advice i have is to practice your interviewing skills and when you're interviewing make sure that the interviewer is vibing w/ you and keeping up w/ your train of thought
wat school is it at
last cycle i got to a lot of final interviews and was good at LC but was never selected
cuz i sucked at the actual intervewing part
sure, but i would also ask others since i am not super insane at getting offers
you will get strong hire decision and make 300K
It's a ghost posting
I applied like february and haven't heard anything from them
same lmao
Nobody I know who applied got any responses either
They don't even reject
Just ghost
lol
Oh it was a new post today
Anyway just sharing it here : https://careers.caterpillar.com/en/jobs/job/r0000179317-2023-software-engineering-recent-grad-positions-cat-digital/?source=LinkedIn
Tbh, if i was born in the US
i get an interview after 2 months and my pc cockblocks me
I wouldn't go through all this struggle
Same
There's places here in Canada but US is full of opportunity
True
All we have to our name is Shopify and Wealthsimple
One of my relatives lives in Canada
He moved there in 2005 or something back when it was better
Do not worry Roo
I will move to Canada circa 2027 and start a big company
Then you will have a job



Well, if anyone needs an hourly tour guide for Canada, lmk
It's not like I have anything better to do

only Loo and UofT student have Wealthsimple
*cries in University of Calgary

I've seen people from Brock University (Ontario uni) get internships at WS
And that's with gov experience which I have too
roasted you a little
Do you guys have a generic cover letter where you just replace the position and company name w whatever application youre filling out?
yessir
Most of the times nobody reads them anyways
Yeah i always wondered what else to submit besides a cover letter cuz it just says “additional forms”
I always curate... takes like 10 mins
I submit cover letter only if I love the company
99% of the time I don't
Ah
cornell is not guaranteed
I don't have one, and when any job asks I just ChatGPT it
interviewer asked why i didnt have a job yet lmao and what ive been doing after i graduated
bruh i graduated dec 2022 and been grinding apps 😦
“Ive been too busy grinding fortnite tournys 😈”
I hate how some companies require you to have an account to submit an application
How does one increase visibility on LinkedIn?
Open to Work banner
can't happen if you don't have one
the amount of I quit my job without another lined up posts I've seen
No need to get another job, you already have Conduent, you're set for life 
Backup plan is investing in Dogecoin. And you can only marry me if you're a cute girl.

rope rope, rope your boat!
Guys do u think it’s bad to get upset about making 70k cause I found out that’s how much my intern pays for new grad and uhhh I think I can do better
I want to fish around first. I think I’ll be happy with it only if I go on a full effort job search for the next year and can’t get anything better .
honestly, you probably could
It’s a good job though. Nice people, good tech and freedom to work full stack & mobile directly committing to production, mostly WFH with one day in office a week, and ya super LCOL area since it’s Kansas City
But I'd rather do the job first
I'd be happy with that, after the first year of FT experience you can job hop and earn more. You can accept and keep looking and if you don't get any offer then at least you have something
Imo take the return (or delay acceptance as much as possible), but keep looking
Numbers are temporary
Ya that’s what I’m doing
Yeah in that case nothing wrong with aiming higher
If I have an offer I can job search with no pressure
How's the job search off the job vs on the job? Do you have energy for it?
eh 70k is almost double what i make as a new grad 😭
Ya I’ve been thinking about that, I think on the job is better for sure. Because I get to work on their codebase for 8hrs a day and get help from experts at a moments notice with a message. It really helps my skills grow especially since I’m full stack react and backend AWS/ nodejs and mobile react native I’m picking up on everything quick
It puts me in the mood to code. Earlier in the year when I was unemployed and trying to learn it was a lot harder to keep making new projects
It’s not an offer yet lol, but I am pretty confident I can turn it into one. The work isn’t that hard.
I’m planning on asking my manager tomorrow on our one on one if they can extend my internship through fall
Did you guess wrong or did they just reduce the salary?
accept ur return offer and keep looking and renege if u get smth better
70k in lcol is insanely good
Ya that's the plan. I just grind non-stop so i wanna get something that matches my peak potential. IDK if my peak is 70k, (probably closer to 80k after a bonus & 4% stock). I have alll summer and up till december to possibly work part time intern and grind interviews non-stop so i might as well just do it for fun and see how 2024 goes. If i win i get a higher paying job, if I don't i just keep this and try again in a year
like i am always working it's why i speed ran uni in 2 years and already made a whole microservice for them before my first 2 weeks is even up . Apply that to leetcode & projects for my resume and i might have a real shot at some good interviews.
take it then renege if you find something better... don't play games in this economy
Prepare answers for these questions for the behavioural part... it's weighted highly
oh lmao nvm
cert has an exam?
practical or?
does it like teach how to design a system in AWS?
which one is it you took again?
if you think you can do better then do well on your job and grind some leetcode. If you really can do better you will do so when the economy improves. Good luck
im getting a lot better at AWS im using it at work with actual node.js code for the backend since they run everything on AWS, and im also finishing my class i took at university on it next week. A lot of it makes more sense now
i think im totally ready to take a basic one just need to practice for it a few days on mock exams then pay
bro i do not understand this bullshit of just having an application sit for 2 months
it’s like either 12 hrs for a reject or 2 months there’s no in between
is it enough? it's a 100 questions right?
Was it 6 just enough? Or could you Speedrun it in less with a passing grade?
Did you use AWS before starting studying?
ya i just started getting that experience and it helps a lot
AHHH
i want that
how much is exam with uni discount? 50 bucks right?
my uni said they give one
$50 off
He said some racist stuff as well
I went to New York, when I saw Techie jaywalking across the street. An officer confronted him and after a long chat he took the officer's pad, wrote in it, and walked away. I talked to the officer and he told me through tears that Techie gave him a ticket for a low TC.
lmao another recruiter connected but ignored message
bruh aint no way
SJ = San Jose?
DOOD this recruiter keeps calling me and i cant pick up for him
i work full time and keep missing his calls
this is the 2nd time. I tried to call him during my lunch, and he was out of the office
but tbh that is surprising that a cop is getting 189k
probably highly sought after though
imagine getting 189k and u have to stand outside in the sun and direct traffic
how bad is the crime in SJ though?
I know I passed by Oakland while riding BART
also walked along the edges of tenderloin without realizing it
Its an area in SF
Are you following up after you see they're done posting their day in the life tik toks?
The recruiter that ghosted be reposting memes and shit
💀💀
She has white hair and wrinkles I think she wants tiktok banned
I walked through Tenderloin at 3am back in 2018
I didn't know what it was obv
It was like a scene out of a movie
You know those meth and fenty heads that zombie walk
Imagine a whole village
🤣💀
SF is a free for all
prob some human feces along the sidewalk too
I graduated a month ago when should i start applying?
I graduated a month ago too. Turns out that I had to apply back in August 2022 to get a job that started June 2023
I almost got peed on in SF (same trip)
You make it sound like you're the army reserves
ikr lmaoo
man is upset people that grinded hard in uni get better jobs
Ya lordgrisworld did grind in uni, and he worked at the buffet, but that work isn't the internships u need and being on top of job apps
We haven’t created the 2024 server yet
I mean I agree with them if they're saying that's crazy cuz it is
bruh I saw that tiktok
its like luxury apartments with a closed garage or sth and like trash and shit strewn around at ground level

No I'm not. I'm just mad that I missed out on the opportunity to get a good job since I didn't know about the whole new grad hiring cycle
It's all my fault
I just have to learn from my mistakes and try again
send the link if you got it
Honestly, they got to make that info public - especially in co-op/internship programs for likeminded folks
was a while back lol can't find it now
how, I only know about liked videos
and probably way longer than 7 days
NEXT YEAR
mans going insane from the unemployment

dayum that's new
but it's laggy af
i ain't scrollin through allat

been a feature for months
last time I tried I had to download some data or sth
why do youhave to mention that
He literally said that in his message he deleted
boston dynamics rejected
My background check completed last week and it’s been radio silence since from recruiter. Should I be concerned / reach out ?👀
(Start dates not for a bit)
what company
F5
you already signed offer right? background check is just a formality in my experience, you won't hear anything about it
Block ng reject after 838 codesignal score
someone here said there was only 1 spot anyway
what do you do when you ask a recruiter to look at a job for you, and then the recruiter ghosts you, and then you get a rejection email a week later?
It can take a while for them to confirm. I got a call maybe 2-3 weeks afterwards from recruiter
not really hate though 
Well on the status on the background check website it says success / completed and has for a week. So I was just assuming my recruiter would maybe reach out and confirm or something but @ornate cliff said it’s Moreso a formality and that they likely won’t mention it, so hoping that’s it
Yes, probably.
Does it look bad if you dont have your resume projects on github
never had anyone look at my github 
I had this recruiter reach out to me on linkedin about a job and gave me a coding assignment to do. the assignment was hard and i douldn't finish it in the one hour time limit. i got very close to finishing it but didnt completely finish it. the recruiter then offered me another chance at it lol, same problem and same one hour limit. ofc i finished the task then
but now it has been over a month, and the recruiter has been ghosting me. what do i do?
i've never had a recruiter be like "hey i see you were very close to finishing this task, can you get it done?"
It's possible that you were the closest to finishing out of all the applicants, so the recruiter took pity on you and let you retry. Then, someone finished the task on time, so the recruiter went with that person instead?
There's always someone better out there, unfortunately, and recruiters will take the best they can get.
The nice thing is that once all those turbo tryhards get their jobs, you'll be the best option out of the remaining people looking for jobs. Then you can finally get a job! I'm in the same boat. Just have to wait until it's my time to shine
move on
Still under review 

Recruiter scheduled a call after final round
Hope to get an offer
Should i see this as positive sign ? They told they would give decision via email yesterday but they scheduled a call today
Was there any emojis in the email?
Nope, does emoji’s matter? 🧐
smiley emoji is usually a good indication
Ohh it’s just some simple text
100% offer unless it's SoFi
my mfer sofi recruiter scheduled a call after the final interview
i thought i got the offer
nope she was just doing a survey

If they schedule a phone call to reject you, then they are real haters fr
It happened with me for ibm
good luck 
Especially if it's a scheduled video call 
Its a small back
Even on phone I didn’t had any interest to continue the convo
Would prefer a email reject and then schedule a feedback call
Atleast for me I can’t sort out emotions to ask real feedback
i get a offer
the call:
If a company tells you that results will appear in two weeks, does that imply that successful candidates will receive their results much earlier than other applicants? Or does everybody receive their offer at once?
same
😂😂😂 😂 so relatable
for which company?
ngl the sofi interview taught me a lot of how high the bar has reached nowadays
was def an eyeopener
when did you interview?
what did they ask you lol
cloud infra, sql and 1 lc
lc med?
yes
but sql and cloud infra
like seriously
a heads up from the recruiter would have been nice
I was just thinking lc that's it
and normal system design OOP
literally gave a deer in headlights type of look during the cloud infra/system design round
did splunk get back to you?
okay
was the sql query super complex?
mine was mostly a group by
didnt have a sys design round though 
yeah it was a med sql query but still I didn't brush on any sql for the past 2/3 months
so it wasn't smooth
mine was to explain a cloud infra question process
seemed like a SWE 2 interview
ngl
Companies took raise the bar seriously
dn
I know...I was shocked
Yo
Do you guys use any other portal aside from linkedin for applying for jobs?
Piazza
1 person amongst thousands of candidates especially in this market is quite rough and touch...for new-grad it is more than 1 unless it's a startup
when did you apply to snowflake? I can't see any openings for new grads
is there anything I need to prepare or look before hand for the call with recruiter ( after final interview)
For Intl. student students, go for Master + getting GF then marry route sounds plausible
anyone willing to be my girlfriend?
does people only marry for GC?
I have gay friend in SF and gotta ask him to marry. Wait is same sex marriage eligible for GC?
not sure but I feel like I heard that same sex marriage is legal in CA
Jokes aside, I hope everyone gets their offer soon 🫡
Garbage collection?
Gimme some Jeffrey Dahmer vibes. Marrying people to "garbage collect" them
What does gc stand for tho
spacex did reach out to me on piazza
@fossil jewel dn

lord grisretard
only person who shouldnt have gf in metaverse is @pulsar mural

ghosted by cute recruiter

Gay marriage (which was in that guy's next message)
Thats how you know it works
Friends pragye, got interview after long time in 5 minutes 
thats not nice, you don't want to be a toxic shitposter like @grim ore
was it the 30 mins call?
than it make sense for him to be hurry
now pray that something good happens 
I got the verbal offer
no i just had a call with small bank and got the offer
yes it's a migration to azure so thinking it would be good experience
I don't know yet and have no other offer for now and still in interview process for other companies
have to think about it
which company
same thing happened to me as well, they procastinated but gave me offer
slow week
there's a holiday monday
so you never know if people took off early
johnson controls for a 60k software qa role 

which company is this for?
johnson controls
It went well, god pls one offer 
final round? 
That's what interviewers said, not sure though very unorganized company
hope everyone get the offer
did you o(n) for it?
Otherwise, I'd feel cheated as a company and not offer

I’m so tired at work rn
I just want the weekend to hit and do some leetcode and projects
1 more hour 
I in fact did O(n), I optimized it so well that he asked me to do O(n^2) as a follow up 

I like to see it
Only O(n)? Gotta get that O(logn) solution
anyone else who applied to all of the new meta postings have it to where they made a careers account to track all of them but the apps aren't showing in your profile?
Yeah me lol
I have the confirmation emails for each posting I applied so I assume they all went through
Those posts were 🧢
bro don't play with me like that, the job grind has been killing me as is
also did you apply to each location independently or just selected all locations for each role?
My friend whos a comp engineer is doing her masters because she couldnt find a job 🙃
Me tbh
Yeah just not this year though 😭

how do you guys deal with balancing several projects at once?
Ideally I would like to worry about just one but that won't work with my timeline
Like personal project?
yeah
Im just doing 1 so i dont burn myself out
well, why are u doing several projects at once?
Time management
I've got like 10 businesses, 2 kids, and am doing an MBA. Just being accepting that sometimes things will break is about the only way.
Do you guys have any personal projects recommendation? Really need one
I've seen lots of neat ones from different people over time. If you can find something that uniquely ties into your interests it's far better than cookie cutter ideas.
thanks for your advice!
10 businesses? 
yes, in 2 countries... tax season sucks.
i respect this a lot but im curious why are u even in this server then?
tryna hire people?
I do fractional CTO work, and, develop my own internal tools for my business and some hobbyist things; I did my undergrad in CS, and, my M.Sc. in HCI... 2023 is when I finish my MBA (August). I'm not hiring at the moment, but, like helping others or getting insights into how people I may later supervise or mentor or whatever is potentially useful. There are people here who are working in industry, etc. not everybody's a new grad (even though this server definitely has a tilt that way)
oh yea thats cool, I appreciate you for doing this
i hope to do something like you do in the future so I got big respect
no problem, I realize what I do is a bit more rare; most people live in one world or the other (e.g. business or technology), relatively fewer are the bridge. I had some interesting chats with people at the AWS Summit in Toronto earlier this week about that sort of thing (not pure developers, project managers, training/developers, entrepreneurs, startup CTO people, etc.)
for me having unique projects definitely helped a lot, went from 100 apps to no interviews last year to 70 apps 3 interviews and all i changed was the projects on my resume
though coming up with a unique one is hard sometimes, what i did as a starting point was think of my hobbies/interest
i see. Im curious how you got started on this?
I'd like one of them done by August, I think it will improve my employability significantly, and I am trying to get a NG role
But I have to learn an entire language, read an entire textbook on the material just to get a reasonable idea of how to do it, it's distributed systems and its something I've been wanting to do for a while
it's a long story, involving burnout post-M.Sc., living in multiple countries, working at startups on the verge of failure, learning a lot in small companies, teaching at a university and having freedom+time to think deeply about what I really wanted, realizing job searching from abroad doesn't work well, and, figuring out that buying a company seemed better, then, after that worked, deciding diversifying would be helpful, finally finding others doing similar things, leveling up skills, and, really finding my tribe. Not a particularly linear path. Definitely lots of things that didn't work out on the way but from which I learned a lot.
thanks!
Ouu interesting, out of curiosity how’d you happen upon the idea?
I've been reading a bit of sys design and I'd like to work on a file system of my own, I read the GFS MapReduce paper and I thought this stuff was very cool
I had a friend do that
ur a teacher
you have 3 months off
eh
but ur also a teacher lol
scratch that you have like 2 weeks off in december
50k is decently liveable in NYC if you don't live in Manhattan or the nice parts of brooklyn
yeah you might need roommates and at least 45 min commute
yeah, and it's a teacher job. I'd never want to do that
I've been in that situation many times now. I think it's easier doing that when in management than when as an employee because you've got direct control and influence about how to extend the runway, etc. Still not guaranteed to be successful, though, of course. As an employee, it's difficult, it ends up being a topic of discussion almost weekly at lunch times, etc. I had a ton of other things going on then though like the impending birth of my first daughter (and then the first few months of her life) and sticking with a company I knew would be flexible was super important vs. jumping ship and potentially having to work longer hours or give up flexibility and irreplacable time.
I did also have multiple income streams, though not a fantastic one, if the company failed I wouldn't be going to 0 income, and, maternity benefits were a thing my wife was getting, etc.
You think its better to have multiple unique projects or one big one that has a lot of features?
interesting
Yeah, things change when it's not going from something to nothing, your risk becomes "Well, this wouldn't be great, but, I can make it" rather than like "Must find another job now or I'll starve". The bigger risk kind of becomes doing sub-par or slowly declining or opportunity cost or whatever rather than complete destitution
or get super lucky and end up at a startup that succeeds big time?
In a way, it's less risky than having a normal fulltime type job
they keep spamming me
if you're a teacher you might work in schools not too far
its just a matter of where DOE puts you
ya
ah shit... here we go again
Are you former Zon?
ya


We're you delayed?
no I didn't get return 
it's k we all gonn make it
I am done with recruiting bs, gonna party tonight
we need to give us some time to chill and enjoy
What are these things you talk about, how does one enjoy at all
who knows
guys i have a question
how tall ru
mastercard vs jpmc
FT both in nyc
which one shuld i go for 
JPMC
is JPMC the SEP program?
or a non-new grad role
What's the pay of each
Neither, go for Amex in Phoenix

i think jpmc pays a bit better for nyc
mastercard has higher sign on
Yupp
It’s almost the same except mc has higher sign on bonus
Just emailed the CEO 😻🙌
Yes
idk wtf ramp wants
where each challenge u complete gives u the hint to the next challenge
there were 3 and i literally did the whole challenge
i dont understand what they want its a new grad role
wdym 3 not 4
number of challenges
when u completed the 3rd challenge it said to post a pic of a smily face made in SwiftUI and attach it to the app
Big doubt that Amex would pay an intern the equivalent of a 228k annual salary
Is there a site to compare $ / hr for a position for companies? Besides blind;
levels.fyi?
imo there’s more to do at JPMC since it’s pretty massive
It’s crazy that there’s a few that do though 😂 https://www.levels.fyi/internships/
But quants don’t count
yeah but not Amex lol
yeah their interviews are a diff level
Has anyone interviewed with Leidos (not new grad)? Any tips?
I would go with Mastercard since their entry level starts at L9
https://www.levels.fyi/companies/mastercard/salaries/software-engineer/levels/l9
Wtf is L9? CTO or director level?
2 more rejections today. Recruiter I msg'd on linkedin that works at the company ignored me, but I like to think he personally rejected me and I'm going to hold a grudge.
lmao


i been grinding leetcode
